transmission

Hi there, first time poster long time lurker. My Explorer had 120,000 miles on when I bought it, it approaches 180,000 now. That was about fifty thousand miles over the past 3-some years. It has always shifted well while driving, and has always had a loud clunk when I shift into reverse...

Hi to all, First post on here but I've been searching & learning about my Trac but I do need some help on the correct fluid and fill procedure once I fix the leaky line (o-ring?). I have read that there is a fill plug and mini dip stick on the passenger side of the trans and the fluid must be...

Does any one have any thoughts on them?

New to the forum here. My wife's 95 Explorer 4wd experienced the classic "no D until engaging 2 or 1" problems I've read and tubed about. Eventually all forward engagement stopped (it could still Reverse like a madman.) Had it towed to the house and gritted my teeth for a new painful...

I have a 2005 ford explorer xlt 4.0 v6 4x4 automatic with a 5r55s transmission that is blown. I have found a possible donor, a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 v6 4x4 automatic with a 5r55s transmission as well. I am assuming it can be swapped but I am not 100% sure. I have heard that there is a...

Good afternoon guys. I've got a 1994 Explorer XLT who's transmission failed about a month ago. The backstory is it overheated in August and lost a bunch of fluid but ran fine after a top-off until November. In late November a trans cooling line leaked right before the intercooler. I repaired...

Hi folks, I'm a new member here seeking advice on how to proceed with a transmission issue I'm having. I'm not very knowledgeable with cars, especially when it comes to automatic transmissions but I'm hoping you might be able to give me suggestions on how I could fix the issue I'm having. I...

HEY GUYS - I NEED OPINIONS! 2003 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L V6 FLEX 5 Speed Automatic So, my transmission finally gave out on my 03 Ford Explorer with 243k miles on it. I talked to my mechanic (totally honest guy that I trust). He ran the numbers and basically I'm looking at roughly between $1,500...

Does anyone else have issues with shifting after being in overdrive for a while on the highway? I have been driving this thing for 6 years, 75k miles, this issue has been present the whole time. After an hour or so on the highway the shift out of the top two gears occasionally gets kinda...

I've got a new to me, 2013 Explorer Sport. A few days after I got the vehicle I felt the transmission slam into second gear on a really slow acceleration. Then I started noticing it intermittently on fast acceleration like going down an entrance ramp to the freeway. I believe I'm hitting the...

2002 sport trac with 275k miles. started to accelerate from stop light but dropped out of gear and started to free wheel. put in second gear and second and it worked fine, after getting to about 45 mph I shifted it back into drive (and if I turn off the over drive button) it will grab third...

Alright. I've got a 93 Explorer Sport 4x4. My clutch started slipping. It got pretty bad pretty quickly, despite having the clutch replaced at the end of last year. I have concluded that the rear main seal probably failed and leaked oil onto my clutch. Either that, or the flywheel failed. Either...

I just got a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT this past week after my Suzuki SX4 finally died and gave me reason to get a better vehicle lol. Well, I got the vehicle for a very good deal off of my dad’s friend (he owns a dealership, vehicle looks amazing. New plugs, hoses, tires, and brakes). Only...

Have a 88 ranger with a a4ld I bought the truck knowing it had tranny tranny issues off a old man said it was driving and just came to a stop one its to nice a truck to junk only 88k I checked fluid seemed pretty clean wouldn't move any gear pulled cooler line and had enough pressure shot...

I recently bought a 2001 Sport Trac with a bad engine (timing chain issue) that only has 136k miles on it. I’m rebuilding the engine but wondering if I need to do anything to the transmission before I reinstall the engine. What is the average mileage of these trucks before they start...

hello all, I pitched a 03 Explorer NBX with 240k miles I’m trying to do some maintenance. Before winter. I want to do a transmission flush but I’m worried about what “mechanic Google” had to say. I have no info about anything done to the suv. But I want to clean it up and make it last. So...

Hi all, I just purchased an a 91 explorer. unfortunately it will not shift into its either 4th or OD gear. Yes, there are other threads on this just saying to replace solenoid but I believe this explorer is stuck in 4x4. Does anyone know if being in 4 wheel limits the transmission to 1-3...

Hello, I'm posting to get fresh replies and to see if using the AJ1E OD servo replacement actually works. I have a 2002 ford explorer 4L v6 225K ish miles. Now getting a p0775 error, flashing OD light, 1-2 shifting delay/flair. I've read about the housing wear around the OD servo shaft and...

Whenever you put it in gear and try revving it up to help it into gear, if it actually tries, the engine will bog down for a second and it'll just slip immediately out of gear. And it'll do this every time, no matter if you in reverse, drive, 2,1. Its the same reaction to every gear. I took a...

I have a 2007 Eddie Bauer, 4X4 w/ 5R55S transmission. About two weeks ago I changed the fluid and filter following the occasional illumination of the wrench light on the instrument cluster. No obvious problems but at 119,000 I figured it was due and thought changing the fluid could be...

It appears my transmission went out going up one of the biggest hills around where I live. And behind me was a huge trail of smoke. The entire way up my transmission kept slipping over and over again, but it'd get back into gear. It finally made it all the way up and over, and I just coasted...

Greetings, does anybody have experience with the SP Precision Xtreme Performance 4R55E? My '95 Ex 4x4 needs a new trans and this one is much cheaper than the Motorcraft. It says it is built to take more power then stock. I assume it would be fine on my stock '95? If anybody knows anything about...

Hey, so i looked around and found a few good information relating to this, but didn't find much about this specific problem that had hardly any replies so what happened was my gf was driving, coming to a stop and soon as she hit the brake the car abruptly stopped, tires screeching kinda stop...

Hello, I just purchased a 2002 FORD Explorer XLT 4.0 V6 and I think with the 5R55W tranny. They said that this is the 3rd tranny. The OG was replaced, then the replacement was replaced. My question is that the O/D OFF light is blinking but there is no CEL. I hear there should be a code but...

Summer in Arizona is about here with temps already almost 110°. I've got a 5R55 in my 06 4.0 Explorer and I'm going to install a stand alone trans cooler with a small electric fan. From what I've found online, we have a cooler integrated into the radiator. I've done this on a previous car with...
